Established in 1909, the International District Energy Association (IDEA) serves as a vital commu- nications and information hub for the district energy industry, connecting industry professionals and advancing the technology around the world. With headquarters just outside of Boston, Mass., IDEA comprises over 2,000 district heating and cooling system executives, managers, engineers, consultants and equipment suppliers from 23 countries. IDEA supports the growth and utilization of district energy as a means to conserve fuel, increase energy efficiency and resilience, and reduce emissions. The publication of District Energy Space has become an annual tradition for the International District Energy Association since 1990. Each year, IDEA asks all of its member systems in North America (compilation initiated in 1990) and beyond North America (compilation initiated in 2004) to provide information on the number of buildings and their area in square feet that committed or recommitted to district energy service during the previous calendar year. This issue compiles growth that was reported for the calendar year 2014, or previously unreported for recent years. To qualify for consideration in District Energy Space, a renewal would have to be a contracted building or space that had been scheduled to expire and was subject to renewal under a contract with a duration of 10 years or more.
